Abstract:Sponge diversity in Vietnam has not been evaluated at all levels from phylogenetics, species, and populations to ecosystems. In the present study, the polymorphism of 18S rDNA fragment sequences revealed phylogenetic variation of 6 demosponge samples (Biemna variantia, Niphates sp., Erylus sp., Mycale laevis, Dictyonella pelligera and Hyrtios erectus) collected from Con Co island, Quang Tri province, Vietnam. High homology of DNA sequence between each studied samples and referred species in Genbank inferred si… Show more
